OSS love their release naming:

Android: ...Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich, Jelly Bean (desserts)
Ubuntu: ...Natty Narwhal, Oneiric Ocelot, Precise Pangolin, Quantal Quetzal (Adjective + Animal)
Eclipse: ...Helios, Indigo, Juno, Kepler (Heavenly bodies)
Mint: ...Julia, Katya, Lisa, Maya (female names)

What happens when they hit Z?
